Recent feedback suggests that we get a lot more traffic from game savvy parents then we thought. Many of these video game knowledgeable parents appear to play games themselves and want our reviews to have more depth and gaming lingo.
We created KidConfidence to help non-gamer parents find the right games for their children. We show actual gameplay footage in our reviews and try to explain the games in a way that is easy to understand, even for parents who have never played a video game before. We welcome all visitors to our site, but experienced gamers may get more from IGN or Gamespot.
The second most common question is concerning our different styles of video reviews. We are still experimenting to find a good mix between casual, informative and appealing. As a result, you will see several review “styles” in our library of video game reviews. We contemplated taking the “old” reviews of our site, but decided to leave them up for now since we feel they still provide value. We are constantly evolving our review methodology and video production and hope you’ll notice our reviews improving all of the time.
Last but not least, many of our visitors argue that SuperPaperMario, Zelda and other games we choose are not suited for children.
This is true. Every week we select games based on popularity. We found that kids ask their parents for games that are popular- but not necessarily age appropriate. So we feel it is necessary to provide coverage of many of these games, and to provide our age recommendations for each game in addition to the ESRB Ratings. However, every child is different, and only you know what is appropriate for your child. Therefore we recommend closely watching the actual gameplay footage in our reviews to determine if a game is right for your family.
